Abstract

PURPOSE:To offer diversified communication processing service by decomposing the communication processing function into minimum elements (service components), allowing the user itself to select the components and registering one communication processing service in a communication network. CONSTITUTION:Service component controllers P1-Pn control various communication processing functions subject to component forming and a service component selected by an outgoing user is managed by a service management table 7 corresponding to the outgoing user. The user selects the service component and forms a peferred communication processing service (main body service) by combining them and inputs the result to a communication processing unit 3. The communication processing unit 3 registers the service number of a main body and the correspondence to the component constituting the said number in the table 7. When the user designates the main body service, a CPU 5 references the table 7, starts the corresponding controllers P1-Pn according to the combination of the registered service components to execute the communication processing service.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a control system for a communication processing service having an information storage function and an information conversion function in an information communication network.

[Conventional technology]

In the following, a facsimile communication processing method, which is one of the information communication processing systems having one communication processing function, will be explained as an example. The configuration overview of this type of information communication network is explained in the third section.
As shown in the figure. 1 is an information input/output terminal (facsimile terminal);
2 is a communication network including a facsimile communication processing device, 3 is a facsimile communication processing device, and 4 is an information processing device. Fourth
The figure shows an example of the configuration of the facsimile communication processing device 3, where 5 is a central control unit and 6 is a facsimile image information storage memory.

SL, S2. . . , Sn is a service compatible control device that controls various facsimile communication processing services such as general communication services and broadcast communication services.

FIG. 5 shows an overview of the functions of a control device for a broadcast communication service, which is one of the facsimile communication processing services. When a call specifying the broadcast communication service is made from a facsimile terminal and facsimile image information is input into the communication network 2, in the facsimile communication processing bag @3, the central control unit 5 transfers the facsimile image information to the facsimile image information storage memory 6.
The zero-return communication service-compatible control device Sn, which stores the image information and starts the service-compatible control device Sn compatible with the zero-return communication service, performs a process of copying the accumulated image information for the number of recipients. When copying, screen size conversion processing is performed on input image information in accordance with the type of receiving terminal. Next, information such as the transmission date and time, caller number, and page number is added to each of the copied image information, and the image information is sent to each receiving terminal. After the message is delivered, the sender is billed for the communication fee.

If the image information cannot be delivered because the receiving terminal is in use, the call will be repeated after a certain period of time.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In conventional communication processing service systems, even if the user thinks that repeat calls are unnecessary, the communication network only has the ability to provide services with fixed functions corresponding to pre-installed service items. The network side automatically performs a repeat call. That is, even in a public system such as a facsimile communication network, the service functions that can be provided are limited, and it is difficult to respond flexibly to the diverse demands of a large number of users.

In such a case, the present invention reduces the communication processing function to the minimum element (
By disassembling the service components into service components (hereinafter referred to as service components), allowing the user to select these service components, and registering one communication processing service (hereinafter referred to as the main service) within the communication network, functions tailored to each user's requirements can be created. This makes it possible to provide a variety of communication processing services with

[Means and effects for solving the problems] In the present invention,
- A communication processing device in the network is provided with a user-compatible service management table that manages service components selected by the user and a service component control device that controls various communication processing functions that have been made into components. When the user specifies a service, the communication processing device refers to the user-compatible service management table and starts the corresponding service component control device to execute the communication processing service according to the combination of service components registered therein.

The functions of the communication processing service system for communication provision according to the present invention include a fixed communication processing service method for callers in which the caller registers the main service, and a fixed communication processing service method for ringtones in which the receiver registers the main service. . These will be explained in detail below.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows a communication processing device 3 of the present invention in a form communication processing service system for callers in which a caller registers a main service.
An overview of the configuration is shown below. PL, P2°, . . . , Pn are service component control devices that control various communication processing functions made into components. 5 is a central control unit, 6 is a facsimile image information storage memory, and 7 is a service management table corresponding to the calling user for managing service parts selected by the calling user.

The user (sender) selects several service components that are independently managed by the communication processing device 3, creates a desired communication processing service (main service) by combining them, and inputs the service to the communication processing device 3. . The communication processing device 3 registers the correspondence between the main body service number created by the user and the service components constituting the main body service number in the calling side user corresponding service management table 7. When a user makes a call by specifying the main service, the central control device 5 in the communication processing device 3 refers to the service management table 7 for the calling side user,
According to the combination of service components registered therein, the corresponding service component control devices 1P1, P2. ...+Pn
Start up and execute the communication processing service. Thereby, the calling service can receive the communication processing service created by itself from the communication network.

Examples of service parts for facsimile communication processing services are shown in Tables 1 and 2. In this case, service parts that are essential to establish the main service are basic parts, and those with additional functions for the main service are included. Classified as parts, B01 to BO9 in Table 1 and AOI in Table 2, respectively.
- Shown in AO7. The aforementioned broadcast communication service is the first
This can be realized by combining the service parts shown in Table 2. This is shown in Table 3.

By dividing the communication processing service in the facsimile communication processing service into 16 service components as shown in Tables 1 and 2, the facsimile communication network provides users with a total of several thousand types of communication processing services ( main body services). Furthermore, by registering common main body services in advance on the network side, it is possible to communicate without the user having to register services as in the past.

The conventional information and communication service system is that when a caller makes a call,
Communication is performed by specifying one communication processing service, and the recipient cannot specify the content of that service.

However, by having the called party select the above service components and registering this combination in the receiving network as one main service (hereinafter referred to as incoming call mode), communication calls that specify the corresponding user as the called party can be processed. When making a call, it is possible to execute a communication processing service with a function corresponding to the call receiving mode specified by the called party himself/herself for the call.

FIG. 2 shows a communication processing device 3 of the present invention in a fixed form communication processing service system for ringtones in which a called party registers a main service.
An overview of the configuration is shown below. In FIG. 2, service component control devices P1 to Pn, a central control device 5, a facsimile image information storage memory 6, and a service management table 7 corresponding to the originating user are the same as in FIG. Reference numeral 8 denotes a receiving mode management table corresponding to the receiving side user, which manages the receiving mode number registered by the user (receiving party) and the service components corresponding to the receiving mode.

The user (receiver) selects several service parts from among the service parts independently managed by the communication processing device 3 and combines them.
One incoming call mode is created and input to the communication processing device 3. In the communication processing device 3, the number for the 0-call mode is registered in the call-side user-compatible call-mode management table 8 by matching the call-call mode number created by the user with the service components that make up the service component. Possible methods include specifying it at the time of making the call, and specifying it before the recipient receives the call. When a call is made specifying the corresponding user as the called party, the central control unit 5 in the communication processing device 3 refers to the receiving user management table 8 and selects the receiving mode number specified by the caller or the called party. According to the combination of corresponding service parts, the corresponding service parts control devices P1, P2. ...Start Pn and execute 1 communication service.

This allows communication to be performed using the function specified by the recipient.

Examples of service components provided by the recipient in the facsimile communication processing service are shown in Tables 4 and 5.

Although the facsimile communication processing service has been described above as an example of the communication processing service, the same method can be applied to communication processing services such as voice dialing and videotex.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a variety of communication processing services that meet the needs of individual users by breaking down communication processing services into functional elements and allowing users to select service components themselves. I can do it. Furthermore, by selecting a service component as the receiving mode, the receiving party can specify the service function of the communication in which he or she is designated as the receiving party.
